No cars or motorcycles on the boulevard
It is getting busier again on the boulevard. Many people come to walk, cycle, or sit at a café terrace. The Dolfinarium is also reopening, and more tourists are expected. To keep the boulevard safe, cars and motorcycles are not allowed to drive or park here from April 1 to October 31. This ensures there is enough space for everyone who comes on foot or by bicycle.
Walking and cycling
During this period, the boulevard is a pedestrian area. Cyclists are welcome but must ride carefully and be mindful of the crowds. Mopeds and speed-pedelecs are not permitted.
Exception for exemptions
Do you have an exemption? For example, because you live in the city center? Then you may drive onto the boulevard with your vehicle.
